[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How on earth did the school allow this man to live there?  When you rent a house, there’s usually a clause limiting the number of times someone not in the lease can stay over.  How does a college allow an adult to basically move in to a dorm?[/quote]

Seriously.  A grown man (a parent no less) MOVES IN to a dorm -- nobody says anything?  There are not security guards, RAs, resident deans or anything?  Or other students did not complain?[/quote]

It wasn't a dorm. It was off campus housing. The landlord went to court to get this guy evicted eventually. [/quote]

no that was after the dorm, when they were living on 93rd street.  Goodness.  Please protect my kids from drugs, metal illness, and cults.  I can deal with anything else.[/quote]

Not a chance I’d send a child to Sarah Lawrence College. Not a chance....[/quote]

The pity is that it has a great faculty-to-student low ratio, seminar-style classes in almost every subject, a lot of good relationships between faculty and students, and has been a really good academic environment for one of DC's friends who is currently there. It's not for everyone either in its size or its academic style, but it would be great academically for the right students. But the article about the cult only confirms the image of a place where, despite the academics, the culture is so "live and let live" that the most basic security got ignored, which while it did not cause the mess for these kids, certainly contributed to letting the mess get started--right there in their own "home" on campus. How any of these kids managed to graduate with all this manipulation going on in their day to day lives is beyond me. [/quote]
